Abstract
In this paper, we describe a novel model for locating appropriate 'helpers' for users based on the Chain of Friends (CoF) personal relationship in a SNS system, in order to locate appropriate 'helpers' for different users. This model is called SESNMM (Search Engine for Social Networked Mobile Model) and allows individual users, located in remote locations, to participate in a collaborative online community, via our SESNMM-based system. Such typical helpers are willing to help other users solve their tasks/problems and it is intended that both the users and helpers gain knowledge from these interactive online sessions. We have applied this model for inviting PC members of an international conference --- namely LTLE 2012. The results showed that our model is very effective for discovering collaboration partners, locating useful helpers, finding users with similar interests in order to create communities for providing future and longer-term helping and teaching exchange.
